S.A. native competes for big prizes on ‘Deal’

Did San Antonio native and Incarnate Word High graduate Kathy Wilson get the shiny car behind the curtain on “Let’s Make a Deal”?

Or – horrors! – did she get the dreaded “Zonk”?

Watch the wild and wacky “Deal,” hosted by smoothie Wayne Brady, at 2 p.m. today on KENS-TV and find out.

Wilson, 25, was visiting high school friends – from class of 2006 at Incarnate Word — in Los Angeles, when they got the urge to take in a game show. And they scored tickets to “Let’s Make a Deal.”

First, however, they had to put together some crazy costumes to get noticed. And judging by the photo of Wilson, left, and buddies, Felicia Travieso and Lindsay Cecic, they succeeded.

Wilson, a Baylor alum who went on to get a graduate degree in Human Resources from A&M, described the experience as “cool” and “exciting.” She added that host Brady “really seems to care about people.”

So, watch and cheer on Wilson; she said she’s the second contestant on the show.

By the way, if you’re headed to L.A., “Let’s Make a Deal” would love you to be the show’s guest and attend a free taping at its studios in Hollywood. Tickets for the show are available here. The publicist tells me that one out of every eighteen audience members gets to be a contestant. In addition, your readers can call the Let’s Make a Deal Audience Hotline at (888) 5-DEAL-50 for more information.
